August 30 | Convocation

MONDAY, AUGUST 30 | 7:00 PM – 8:15 PM

See the Penn Secretary website for more information.

Convocation is a Penn tradition that dates to 1910 (and perhaps, on an informal basis, earlier). Though the format may have changed over the years, this event is a significant marker in the lives of Penn undergraduates. This is the first time that the freshman class gathers together. They will come together again on Hey Day in their junior year, and at Commencement in their senior year.
